Recently I decided that I wanted to change things up with my mossberg 590a1. I've had it three years now and it has always had the magpul furniture on it. There is nothing wrong with it, I just got tired of the all black tactical look. Decided I wanted to go to a more oldschool look with wood...

About six months ago I decided to bite the bullet and start my first AR build. I was unsure the direction I wanted to go, so I started off buying a complete magpul lower from PSA. Some time later I decided to also order an upper receiver from PSA along with all the upper parts. Also decided on...

Just thought I'd share this fascinating video I came across on youtube. In the video the guy melts down various aluminum cans, then uses sand casting to cast a rough lower. He then mills it out to spec. Here is the Video As a metal caster myself the only potential issue I see is the fact that...

Because I walked out with a rifle I didn't plan to buy. It's a real beauty anyways! These words translate to: Foremost Ordnance Factory (of the) USSR at Tula A little bit of info now. A few days ago a friend and I decided to go into a LGS to kill some time and just look around. Upon entering...

As humans, we of course have our preferences with just about anything. We have our preferred auto maker, preferred vehicle type, preferred music, preferred food, etc. Guns come as no exception to this. Some have broad preferences like wood & steel over polymer, some more specific preferences...

Yesterday I took my M1 out for the first time in maybe 6 months. I know, that's WAY too long. However with college, work, and the National Guard leisure shooting for me has been sort of put on the back burner for a little bit. With college done for now I finally have some much needed days off...

I've been thinking about a hypothetical situation involving firearms in my head for a little while, and I just can't quite seem to come to a conclusion. Lets say you have a hypothetical train that travels in a straight line at exactly 1000 feet per second. Lets also say you have a gun that...

I've had my S&W 4006 for many years now, and I absolutely love it. It's a good looking pistol, and is built like a tank... And probably weighs about as much as one too. It was my first pistol as a matter of fact. I unfortunately don't shoot it nearly as much as I'd like to, and I've honestly...

I have seen and heard this term used quite a bit, but I am not totally sure as to what makes a shotgun a "slug gun"? I am admittedly pretty ignorant about shotguns as I aquired my first one only about two weeks ago. Common sense would tell me that a slug gun is used most optimally with slugs, so...

So a little while ago I made a thread asking for general advice about shotguns as I bought a Mossberg 590 as my first shotgun. Well it arrived at my LGS on Tuesday, and I've been shooting it quite a bit already. I have to say overall I am very happy with it. It was a bit stiff when I first got...

After years of occasional research, and thinking about it, I finally decided to get one! I decided on the mossberg 590 magpul edition. I chose the 590, and mossberg overall for a few reasons. First, I was initialy interested in the Remington 870, and Mossberg 590. After hearing a lot about the...

So I follow quite a few different gun related YouTube channels, Hickok45 being one of them. Quite often he, as well as other channels, will make a video with an NFA item that was loaned to them; sometimes it's a full auto firearm, SBR, or suppressor. This got me thinking, does the NFA have any...

Some of you probably know about the shooting that happened on live TV today; most of you will know before long. With YouTube videos of it plastered everywhere, and due to my curiosity, I clicked on one. My thoughts are with the families of the innocent lives that were taken. The focus of this...

Recently I made a thread ranting about how in New Hampshire I can own just about anything I want outside of NFA items, but travel down south into Massachusetts and its a whole different story. I want to understand a little more of why that is. I took the time to read Spats McGee's Federal...

So before I begin my, I guess rant, I want to give some background information. I've been in the NH Army NG for a little over a year and a half now, and in that time have done quite a few drills at Fort Devens in Massachusetts. Fort Devens is a very small fort compared to say Fort Benning, we're...

Hello all, For a while now I've thought about the idea of a suppressor for my S&W 4006. For now unfortunately thinking about it, and gathering ideas, is all I can really do as I want to save my money. That doesn't mean I can't gather information for when I do decide to get one, if possible...

So it appears as though we will finally have a Sturmgewehr 44 semi auto reproduction sold here in the US! Not only that, but it will be in the original 7.92x33 cartridge. I have been waiting for something like this for years. Here is the link to the Article I read. The only kicker is that it...

A little while back I made a thread about the problems I was having with my M44 that I just got about a month ago. I was having difficulty closing the bolt on a round, as well as extracting casings after firing. After following the great advice of numerous members... it functions normally! A...

So for those of you who don't know, and are interested in what separates a civilian legal AR15 from a full auto capable M4/M16 from a mechanical standpoint, I thought I would post a cool video I found that shows pretty well the difference. The video is HERE I found this video while doing some...

Hello all, So I picked up a pretty decent Mosin Nagant M44 a few days ago at my LGS. It didn't really have any cosmoline on it, but I thoroughly cleaned it anyways. Today I took it out to fire it for the first time, and had some problems with it. The first is that it is kind of hard to close...
